Mom Confession: I Almost Spanked a Stranger's Kid! (VIDEO)

I'm not a fan of corporal punishment, but I have to admit I sympathize with the mom featured in this episode of Coffee Shop Confessions: "I Almost Spanked a Stranger's Child!" Because the mom lost her temper in a toy store, and if you've ever taken a toddler to a toy store (or even observed a toddler in a toy store), you know exactly how horribly horrible an experience that can be.

And it's not like the mom was going to give her little girl a full-fledged spanking in the middle of the aisle; she just went to give her hand a swat. How many times do I have to tell you to put that toy down?!

Unfortunately, the hand she grabbed didn't belong to her daughter at all.

Nope, that hand belonged to another mother's child -- another mother who happened to be standing nearby (and looking mighty annoyed).
